A quick thought on the Cardinals/Mets series

Who knows.

Tonight however I was watching the Cardinals/Mets game.  I’m routing for the Cardinals for two simple reasons.  First, they are not a New York team.  Second, I asked my cousin’s three kids who they were routing for and the middle one’s response of, “St Louis!” while waving his hands in the air was so enthusiastic as to be utterly infections.  Go Cardinals.

Not that it matters.  Whoever wins the National League pennant is just going to get dismantled by the Tigers.

On to tonight’s telecast.  I honestly think that the broadcast team of Joe Buck and Tim McCarver is the single worst thing that has ever happened to Major League Baseball.  Worse than steroids.  Worse than Pete Rose.  Worse than the 1919 Black Sox.  They are inexcusably horrible.

I found myself routing not for the Cards, but for the announcers to be caught saying something stupid.  I was hoping that every time Joe Buck bitched about a managerial desision that the move in question would work so well as to make Buck need to appologize.  I wanted every inane, retarded, stupid prediction that came out of McCarvers mouth to be 100% incorrect.  I wanted the exact opposite of everything they said to happen.

Then as the game was entering the late innings I did the one thing that might actually wake the morons at Fox up to how terrible their broadcasts have become…  When the clock hit 10:30 pm eastern time I switched over to Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network and watched Futurama.

Thanks Bender.
